Michael Ferris, Jr.

When I first came across Michael Ferris Jr's work, I thought it was clay which kind of made my mouth hang open for a minute!

They are recycled wood, which makes my head hurt. in a good way.They are pure Italianate high renaissance and yet fully modern and abstract; facinating. I don't know what to think. They make my mind race; I find them riveting.

I instantly thought of francis bacon and lucienfreud and even kandinsky...just for starters.
